Hopefully he too will be dead soon, and his country might escape tyranny. But until then, the sane course is to stand with our European neighbours. At whatever cost.

So at his embarrassing "where's he gone" press conference, #Farage just announced there will soon be a Labour MP defecting to Reform.
